Individuality, Anonymity and Promiscuity go hand in hand. Parade starts with society crumbling apart.
Only broad distinctions remain, subtleties go away. What remains struggling is an individual, in a shadow of his society. This individual can be well characterized by his self'ish thinking. His thinking, even if not totally rational, is always fundamental. Rather it has to be that way as he has lost the plinth that his society had built. Such an individual thinks for himself only.

Taking this line of thought further, this alone and self'ish individual finds himself in a vast sea of such individual individuals. All he can see is an endless variety. He can make out broader distinctions. And he does so only to find someone to identify with. But all he achieves is fossilized remnants of the bygone era, the society. The moment he realizes this vast scale of his loneliness, he thinks of himself as an anonymous body. None finds anything in him to identify themselves with. So he better be that way, anonymous!
Then, all this boils down to one singular matter of interest; sex. Sex is a great equalizer. All that sex needs is a peg and a hole. Contrary to the popular belief, a square peg is perfectly compatible with a round hole now. The peg-hole combination though, is largely unchanged. Promiscuous tendencies come into play here. Promiscuity is defined as, "characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, especially having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis." Promiscuity does away with non identification problem. It satisfies both parties. It is repayable normally by most common of worldly possessions. It aligns itself well with self'ish thinking individuals. Promiscuity at it's zenith, is the last nail in the coffin of a loving memory of society.
To what does it lead to? To where does it go? Offspring born out of such promiscuous union defines this further leading pathway. At a subconscious level, this offspring has a choice to make. One goes further to be harder cored individuals; or to help each growing up, establishing bonds with each other, learn together, care, do away with fossils and to build a new foundation of newer society.
A wonderfully narrated passage..depicting the virtue of modern man. Definitely beyond the comprehensive abilities of Tom, Dick & the Harry...
